This looks like a viable competitor to the recently announced HA Voice Preview hardware. Looks like it's sold out at this point but there will be more coming. More microphones, presence detection and a builtin amplifier to run fairly substantial speakers.

It seems interesting, although it will cost 95€ with the speaker, but I guess that's gonna be a definitely better audio than the one of the HA Voice. The disappointing thing is that they don't sell the enclosure nor provide a 3D design to print your own ☹️

Edit: I've just watched the video; this is a public beta (not shipping yet to Europe), they will provide enclosure (specs to print our own to) with speaker and also all the accessories. I'll keep an eye on the website to check when it will be out of beta and available for Europe. I'm very excited about it!
